Just got my BF% checked... it's 27.3% which is well into the "healthy" range. (Was over 50% when I began this journey)

Suck on that BMI of 29.8, (only just out of the obese category) just goes to show how BMI really does not take into account muscle/bones/etc.

    That's great! I'm just BARELY over the obese range which is so frustrating because looking at myself, I really don't consider myself obses at all... but it's because I'm so dang short! It's not fair! Really messes with your head sometimes.

    I'm considered obese too which I can't fathom because it sound so ridiculous when I look in a mirror. My sister weighs 40 pounds less and I'm not much bigger than her. Another 14 lbs and I will be at just overweight lol

    Damn straight. I have a friend who is in awesome shape, and he tells me that he is obese according to his BMI. He is a jujitsu nut.
